Stephen Tanzer's IWC: (As with the Cras, Meo buys grapes and does the vineyard work here, under a contract that Allexant described as "like a metayage or fermage") Good dark red. Ripe, fruit-domina...

Wine Spectator: Pretty black currant and floral aromas and flavors lead off in this supple Nuits, which has a solid base of tannins, but balances all the elements well. The long, fruit-filled...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Very fresh bright, dark red. Perfumed nose offers black raspberry, menthol and a whiff of meat. Fat, ripe, dense and rich but classically dry; this came across as a bit mono...

Wine Spectator: Dark fruit flavors of black currant and blackberry grace this velvety red, whose dusty tannins and acidity keep it focused and lingering. Balanced in a large-scaled way, with ...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: (Meo bought two small parcels of 50-to-60-year-old vines last year in this mostly south-facing grand cru, enough to make three barrels in 2009) Good deep red. Slightly high-to...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Good full medium red. Very closed but deep nose hints at wild raspberry. Large-scaled, rich and sweet, with terrific creamy depths even if it's not yet expressing itself. Boas...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Palish red. Perfumed aromas of raspberry, cherry, coffee, spices, menthol and faded rose. Sweet and creamy but with an edge of acidity framing and carrying the attractive, m...

Wine Spectator: Lush and supple, this red offers macerated cherry, currant and spice flavors. This shows some heat on the finish, pulling it out of balance at this stage, and blunting the fin...

Wine Spectator: Bright flavors of cherry, currant and iron course through this dense red. Rich and powerful, with firm but ripe tannins. Tobacco-tinged finish. Best from 2014 through 2028. -B...

Wine Spectator: Lush and supple, this red offers macerated cherry, currant and spice flavors. This shows some heat on the finish, pulling it out of balance at this stage, and blunting the fin...

Wine Spectator: Ripe and succulent, this red delivers black cherry, blackberry and spice flavors wrapped in a vibrant, harmonious package. The tannins are buried for now, and this leaves a fr...

Wine Spectator: This red evokes black cherry, blackberry and violet aromas and flavors. There's a line of tannins for support, covered by the ample flesh. Drink now through 2020. -BS

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Dark red. Chocolatey oak, caramel and coffee on the rather anonymous, slightly warm nose, with an exotic aspect. Sweet and creamy but a bit chunky in texture, with very ripe h...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Good deep red. Reticent aromas of black cherry, coffee and mocha. Fatter and riper than the Vieilles Vignes but a bit more liqueur-like and showing more oaky torrefaction. ...

Wine Spectator: This ripe, lush red features blackberry, black currant and smoky, bacon fat aromas and flavors. Unabashedly modern in style, yet also fresh and tasty. Just a bit oaky on the f...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Bright medium red. Wild strawberry, raspberry, mocha and menthol on the full-blown but fresh nose. Silky, sweet and seriously stuffed with fruit. Dense and strong for villa...

Jancis Robinson: Not racked. Just out of new barrel. Lovely sweet fruit and just needs a bit of time to absorb the oak. Lovely stuff. Great hedonistic purple-fruit flavours. He says `wait at l...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2009 Mazoyeres-Chambertin is another reticent wine. This is a decidedly intense, powerful Mazoyeres that needs time to shed its baby fat. The aromatics are expressive and ...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2009 Charmes-Chambertin needs quite a bit of time in the glass to come together. Initially quite ripe and exotic, the Charmes gradually finds its balance. Still, my sense ...

Wine Spectator: A burly, meaty red, packed with dark cherry and berry flavors, but also a hint of smoke and tar. On the palate, this begins with a blast of fruit, before yielding to stiff, dr...
